UNSPSC 50122042: Wild caught monkfish

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Monkfish, that was raised in the wild and harvested as an adult, and is presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122042 Wild caught monkfish is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fish and seafood products under this code primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and municipal food distribution initiatives. Recent solicitations show that the code encompasses fresh and frozen fish products delivered to institutional food-service operations, though the opportunities posted include broader grocery categories that subsume specific seafood lines rather than monkfish procurement exclusively. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services solicited fish sticks (a processed seafood product) in October 2026 for Georgia Correctional Industries on an RFQ basis, with 40,000-pound delivery increments and all-inclusive pricing due October 12, 2026. School districts including Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Richmond County Board of Education in Georgia have issued IFBs and RFQs for comprehensive grocery supplies that include seafood and fish products among 200–1,200 line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies. Issuing bodies posting under the code span state procurement offices, county boards of education, and special-purpose development authorities. Georgia appears as the dominant jurisdiction in recent activity, with state-level, county, and municipal procurement all active.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where the state Department of Administrative Services and multiple county school districts (Hancock, Early, Richmond) have posted opportunities between May and October 2026. The Invest Atlanta economic development authority issued an RFP in July 2026 seeking food distributors and retail grocery operators to supply municipal markets in Atlanta's Priority Communities, with proposals due August 6, 2026 and a pre-proposal conference held July 14, 2026. Food distribution and school nutrition procurement dominate the recent opportunity set, with school districts requiring domestic sourcing, USDA nutritional compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and firm pricing that includes transportation. Vendors responding to these solicitations must navigate detailed specification sheets, Q&A board protocols specific to each portal (such as Georgia's GA@Work system), commodity-level compliance documentation, and insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence.
